Check your e-shop URL

In the initial setup, add or check your e-shop's URL. INFLO uses it to verify that the assistant is ready for the correct website.

Tip:

If the address is pre-filled, just check it and adjust if needed.

Check the assistant settings

In the settings, check the chat widget's appearance, the tone of communication, the assistant's knowledge and the rules for handover to an operator.

Publish the widget to your e-shop

Once the setup is done, publish the widget to your e-shop. With the verified Upgates add-on, deployment is handled through the add-on connection; the Deploy to website page mainly serves to check that the widget is active and available.
